GIVEAWAY CLOSED. THANKS FOR ENTERING!guess what? i have ANOTHER awesome giveaway for you!! ever heard of
misikko? they have
professional hair straighteners and the
best hair dryers. they carry a variety of brands, including these lovely ones that you may recognize:
chi,
paul mitchell,
hot tools, and of course:
corioliss.
misikko generously sent me one of their top sellers: a
Corioliss Classic 1” Black Flat Iron to review, and offered to
give one away! yippee! when i came back from camping, the hair straightener was waiting for me at home. i was sooooo excited. when i opened it up, it was the loveliest packaging i have ever seen for any kind of hair product. it also included a couple free gifts, as well as a heating pad you can place the straightener on when it's hot (before this i was using a sushi plate to keep mine on...classy i know...). it also included a little booklet explaining the corioliss line, product information, and even a how to guide w/pictures.

so, i wanted to take some before pictures so you can see what my hair does naturally. it gets kiiiind of crazy. if i hadnt put
my product in it before it dried [naturally], it would have been worse. so this is what i was dealing with:

awesome, huh? i told you so. ok, so i sprayed my hair with
heat protectant first (a must do!) and then went at it. at first i didnt have the heat up high enough for my craz-o hair so i was worried and thought "oh no! i dont like it!" but then i realized my problem and turned the heat up a bit. then it was
perfect. the plates are longer than my last straightener so it can handle more hair at a time and get it all straight. it heats up in record time, which was awesome. when i was finished i got this lovely end product:

cute, right? by the way, the
adorable shirt i am wearing came from the etsy shop
come shop pink lemonade. you should
definitely go check her out and snag one for yourself!! now back to the review: i would highly recommend this hair straightener. it also comes with a 2-year guarantee, just in case something goes wrong. 2 years? hollaaa! it works great and as you can see
it straightens like a dream.
